Punta Angeles Lighthouse, Maritime navigation lighthouse in Valparaíso, Chile.

Punta Ángeles Lighthouse is an 18 m cylindrical cast-iron tower with a gallery and a circular lantern, painted white with a red band and a red lantern. It stands 60 m above sea level on the rocky headland at the western entrance of Valparaíso Bay, near Las Torpederas beach, and emits a white flash every 10 seconds with a range of 32 nautical miles.

A supreme decree of 9 November 1837 authorised a lighthouse near Valparaíso's port; the wooden pyramid tower by American captain Paul Délano was inaugurated on 18 September 1838. It was moved to Punta Ángeles that same year, rebuilt in brick in 1857, destroyed by the 1906 earthquake, and replaced by a Chance Brothers iron tower prefabricated in England. In 1967 the tower was relocated to Fuerte Rancagua.

The lighthouse shares its site with the George Slight museum room, named after the Scottish engineer who built the Evangelistas lighthouse in southern Chile. Visits to the museum circuit are led by lighthouse specialists on weekdays. In 1898 the first carrier-pigeon loft of the Chilean lighthouse service was installed here, using 50 pairs of pigeons bought in London and brought to Valparaíso aboard the transport Angamos; the service kept up to 280 birds until 1904.

The lighthouse stands on the rocky headland at the western entrance to Valparaíso Bay, about 3 km northwest of the city, near Las Torpederas beach in Playa Ancha. Guided visits are led by lighthouse specialists on weekdays; the George Slight museum room is part of the historic circuit. The tower shares its site with the Dirección de Seguridad y Operaciones Marítimas.

Between 1898 and 1904 the lighthouse housed Chile's first carrier-pigeon loft: 50 pairs bought in London arrived at Valparaíso aboard the transport Angamos, and the service grew to 280 birds with lofts at Juan Fernández, Coquimbo, Iquique and Corral. Its 9,600,000 candelas make it the most powerful beacon in South America.
